Signed, written consent from parents for submitting results to MDH is not necessary under the mandatory hearing screening law.

We prefer that audiologists complete the Audiology Report for the Newborn Screening Program with the infant’s screening results and hearing diagnosis, and fax or mail it to the Newborn Screening Program as soon as possible. This form is available to download from the Education Materials and Forms page.
